Did you know that some Chinese characters are lucky at birth?
Chinese astrology is a popular way to determine your year of birth according to the lunar calendar. Chinese astrologers believe that from it you can learn a lot about yourself - not only about your personality traits, but also about your destiny.
Astrological signs are said to be particularly lucky on certain days: in Chinese culture, they are numbers 6 and 8 lucky, while it is number 4 associated with bad luck. This means that certain signs are much luckier in certain years and dates.
For starters, the “ben ming nian,” or year of your sign, occurs every 12 years when the astrological calendar resets. For example, if you were born in the year of the horse in 1990, your next "ben ming nian" will be in 2026. Contrary to popular belief, this does not mean that this will be the year when you will have more luck. Astrologers are even of the opinion that this is your unlucky year - they believe that by doing so we offend a special god who has cursed us for that year. That's why you should wear that year a lot of red color, have jade with you and make sure we are turned away from god. For example, 2020 is the year of the rat, when the god faces north. Therefore, if you are born under the sign of the rat, you should face the south of your furniture that you are sitting on.
But just because the year of your sign is not a "lucky year" according to Chinese astrology, it doesn't mean that your lucky year isn't on its way!
